The PS5 and its controller, the DualSense, do look lovely in white. The first non-black console (of the big two) at launch (aside from the Xbox Series S), Sony made a bold move with the console’s design, including the decision to make the majority of it white. It seemed that the era of big black boxes was coming to an end, with the exception of the Xbox Series X, which takes that description and embraces it in the name of airflow.

Now though, Sony has had a rethink, at least partially. They have announced, via the PlayStation Blog, two new colors for the DualSense, in both black and crimson red variants. The new recolors are named Midnight Black and Cosmic Red, respectively. The new DualSense controller colors will be available in participating retailers globally next month.

We hope these new additions will bring further joy and excitement to our fans’ gaming experience.”

The DualSense is Sony’s most advanced controller yet and has been one of the PS5’s most exciting new features. It has adaptive triggers and enhanced vibration motors to deliver a more immersive experience.
